Black Moor Goldfish

Tania, Have you tried Ich medicine? A few of our freshwater fish died from it (although ours was manifested in white spots) before we figured it out. You have to buy some medicine for your tank to get rid of it. Do it fast, because the Ich is actually a parasite that kills the fish, so that may be why your smaller fish died first.

Polka Dot Eel ~ Spotted Spiny Eel

Anonymous

A Spotted Eel has just systematically worked its way through our new guppies and fighters in one night. Little git is on his way to the pet shop to be swapped! They are great but avoid little slender fish. Our baby barbs and other unknown little fellas have been fine, so it must be the thin bodies of the eaten ones that appealed. Mistake with our new hobby number 1....

I just got a puffer yesterday for my 100 gal. pond. His name is Kermit. I bought some snails for the pond and was told he would keep the population down. Besides that, he looks really cool. I fell in love with him the minute I saw him and when I found out he eats snails I love him even more for that. One thing that worries me is that it looks like he might have the ick. I put quick cure in the pond just to be sure. I'd hate it if dies. He seems to love it in the pond. He has plenty of feeder shrimp and guppies to chase and a lily to call home.

Tania

I just bought a rather large Black moor who insisted on sitting on the bottom corner of my tank for a little over a week i checked the ph at the pet shop and they said all is good i have a few other black moors who are now doing the same thing which is very unusual as they were very active before. recently i noticed my smaller molls had white stringy stuff on there tails the large on looks good and is swimming around happily but my smaller ones have just died, i also have a fantail that is having the ssame problem looks like she going to die next

Ryukin Goldfish

Stacie

I have one Ryukin with a normal fantailed fish. I've had to separate the pair of them from my other fantail because the Ryukin started attacking my gold fantail. He's never bothered attacking the white fantail. To be honest him and the white fantail follow each other. I also have an apple snail that I've had to move to another tank because both the Ryukin and white fantail attack the poor thing. So The white fantail, the cali ryukin and a cory all live together in peace...for now any way >.< These fish are lovely allthough I won't be buying another one due to this ones agressive nature.

Oranda Fancy Goldfish

Rebekah

I wonder if anyone can help, I have a large Oranda and he/she doesn't seem to be able to swim any longer. He has sunk to the bottom of the tank and doesn't appear to be able to swim up to the surface to feed. Can anyone advise as to how I can help him. I don't want to lose him as I've had him for a long time.

I just got 2 green spotted puffers. One is slightly bigger than the other. I named the bigger one Percy, and the smaller one Nico (yeah, kind of a Percy Jackson fan.) Nico seems to like following Percy around, I guess because since Percy is bigger, Nico must think he's the leader or something. I love them so much. Their favorite activities include swimming in and out of their plastic rock hide out thing, and chasing a laser light.

I have had my weather loach for nearly a year. It keeps going upside down and floating to the top of tank, but still alive. I can't figure out what's wrong, can anyone help?
